Contact LibreTexts to request an instructor account in a specific library
Go the the LibreTexts library that you have an instructor account and log in.
The Remixer can be found in Tools on the left side navigation panel.
Locate Remixer in Tools
Enter the title and choose remixer option(s). The default option works fine.
Set Remixer Options
You may choose contents that you will use for all libraries of LibreTexts.
Library Panel
A remix map can be created by dragging sections/chapters from the library panel to dropping them to the remixer panel. Chapter and section titles can be renamed by double clicking them.
Creating Contents by drag-and-drop
Rearrange can be done by drag-and-drop. Tools for editing chapters and pages are located right above the remixer panel.
Editing Pages
At the bottom of the remixer panel, you will find the link to the published book.
Log of the publishing process
Before being moved to a college hub, a published remix can be located in the sandbox of your account.
Sandbox under account
Published books can be found in the personal sandbox.
Location of personal sandbox in LibreTexts
To edit or reremix a book in the sandbox, go to the remixer and switch it to the Edit Remix Mode.
Edit remix mode
Once the remixer is in the edit mode, you see the sandbox in the library panel.
Sandbox in library panel
A selected book can be loaded to the Remixer by clicking the REREMIX SELECTION button.
The book can be reremixed and republished as before.

Click Edit button to modify.
Click Save to save the modification.

Suppose contents and a skeleton remix map were created. Then you can use copy-and-paste to add contents to pages. See “A Harvesting Checklist.” 2020. August 16, 2020. https://chem.libretexts.org/@go/page/148794 for details.
